Garlic Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters
These Garlic Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters make a regular appearance in my house. They make a great midweek meal – comforting when served with potatoes in winter, but they make a great summer meal too when served alongside a leafy green salad.
I start this dish by making a garlic paste which I rub into the chicken legs. I place the legs in a roasting dish. Then pour in some chicken broth. You can use ¼ cup of dry white wine with ¼ cup of chicken broth if you prefer. Cook in the oven for 45 minutes or until the chicken registers at least 165°F on a food thermometer.
To make the Garlic Roasted Chicken Leg Quarters, you will need the following ingredients:

Recipe Reviews
i love me some garlic in everything so I made this witha side dish of cheesy garlic bread, mm-mm.
I didnt know what cumin is so didnt add it what is it and can i replace?
Instead of roasting them I actually grilled the chicken thighs and it tasted really freaking good.
Easily one of my favorite roasted chicken meals to make very delicious.
Crispy chicken skin and soft on the inside very delicious everything I was looking forward to eating this evening.
Juicy and tender on the inside the flavors are just right.
Very simple and affordable dish thanks so much for sharing it with us.
Very watery I think I might have done something wrong.
My kids and I devoured this up almost instantly with some ziggy-fries.
Dabbed a bit of hot sauce on top of these bad boys and man it was good!
Another awesome recipe by my all time favorite,Lilly!! Can't wait to see what's up next in your cook book.
I burnt mine on the first try but on the second I perfected it and served it with some cold lemonade.
Great recipe and easy to make 5 stars from me for sure.
Looks don't decieve, mine came out slightly undercooked..but I'll try again and cook it longer than what's written this time.
Not too bad but going to stick with the full roasted chicken and veggies.
My husband is very fond of devouring these on game night with some aj bbq sauce and a cold beer lol
Wasn't too sure about this meal at first cause it looked very oridinary and plain but I wanted to give it a shot..no regrets AT ALL this is so good the seasoning is just mouth watering.
Plain not much in this but with a bit more spices and even some sauce it could turn out to be perfect so i'll be playing around with this recipe.
I'm extremely happy with how this turned out! It's amazingly juicy and satisfying.
Didn't think I'd fall in love with this website and it's food so quickly but it's official, i've saved everything!!
I love it! Thanks for sharing recipe!
